    Anyone here ever talk F1?

    I noticed there's a NASCAR board but can't find racing anywhere else. Anyone know where F1 is discussed?

    I like talking F1, very rarely bet on it though basically due to how volatile it is.

    I started a race-by-race posting; however because of the gap between Malaysia and China, it gets bumped fairly quickly. I would post more often, but it would rather be to check up on news, which I incorporate anyway.

    Glad to see some love for the real fast cars though!

    I used to bet on it quite a bit up until a few months ago. That and MotoGP. Not really sure why I stopped because I was actually fluking my way to some ok cash.

    If you guys start a thread in here - or even just continue on this one - I'll definitely pop in to contribute.

    Well how about for this weekend, this acts as the Malaysian thread?

    I picked up Jenson @ $3.5 to win outright after I heard about the Lewis gearbox change. My sportbook had not changed the odds either since Hamilton was still favourite.

    With it being a dry race, I feel in no particular order that only Jenson, Alonso, Vettel, and Webber have decent shots at winning. Hamilton's gearbox change could put him behind Schumacher and if anyone remembers Italy last year....

    I'll see if my mind changes after quali is done in about 40 mins.....

    RB getting hurt down the long straight, Ferrari getting hurt everywhere!

    Looks like Massa will miss out on Top 10 again too..

    Wow, nice lap from Webber in the end. And SV out, using the old exhaust has backfired big time for him.

    Well one Red Bull not fast enough!

    Vettel out in Q2 and Webber fastest. What a turn around that is.

    Good luck with The Merc boys btw.

    I'm pulling for you. Didn't have a bet on this, apart from Koby.

    thanks mate, Merc front row lock out!

    Shocking Qualy by Button though, other bets are going to be at risk now, McLaren's will line up alongside each other on the grid. Atleast Button will have the advantage in looking after the tyres, but I was hoping for top 4 spot for Button. Ah well, still plenty of racing to go, should be an awesome race.

    Should be noted that no one has been passed more this year then Nico.

    I'm really looking forward to a dry race to finally get a feeling for where the cars are at truly in paceSpecifically, I want to see how Sauber does in this dry race. I also really want to see what Schumacher can do with the Merc in a whole race without his tranny dying or getting punted on the 1st lap.

    Still no luck for Schuey! I feel for the bloke at the moment, he just can't get a break. I used to hate it when he dominated with Ferrari, now I would love to see him grab a win.

    Bad luck Opti, I hope the parlay covered most of the others. Atleast we don't have to wait long for Bahrain!

    Merc could have had the 1-2 easily I think. Not sure if Schumacher could have caught Nico since he seems to be great in China.

    2 crucial pitstops cost Schumi a podium and Jenson a decent run at Nico. Still upset that we don't have a full, un-compromised race by Schumi to get a feel for where he's at this year.
